Given the 2021 launch of Nintendo’s Switch OLED<\/a>, it might seem a little weird that we’ve had to wait nearly two years after the original Steam Deck launch<\/a> for today’s announcement<\/a> of an OLED-equipped version. In interviews surrounding that announcement, though, Valve says an OLED screen was never in the cards for the original Steam Deck, given the timeline involved.<\/p>\n

Valve designer Jeremy Selan tells IGN<\/a> that “the display technology for the HDR display, we kicked that off prior to even having shipped the first [Steam Deck].” Selan added to Rock Paper Shotgun<\/a> that work on this OLED update started “basically immediately” after the original unit was released.<\/p>\n

“We knew we needed a better display, even from day one,” Selan told RPS. “It just takes multiple years, it takes a lot of money.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
